A PHILOSOPHICAL ANSWER.

The value of services rendered by
skilled workmen should not be cult
waited by the time it takes to perform
the task. Allowance should be made
for the weeks and months spent by
thorough workmen in learning how to
do their work well. This knowledge
has it's money value.
While Judge Tracy was on the cir
cult, going from court, his trace broke.
The judge spent a half hour trying to
mend it, but to no purpose. His pa
tience was exhausted, and he expressed
his vexation in words. A Negro came
along, and the judge told him Of his
trouble. The Negro let out the trace,
cut a hole in it, and the job was done.
"Why," said the judge, "could I not
have thought of that ?" "Well, mars-
ter" said the Negro, "don't you
know some folks is naturally smarter
than t'others ?" "That's So" said the
judge. "What shall | pay you for
fixing my trace ?' "Well marster,
fifty cents will do" said the Negro.
Fifty cents J" said the Judge. "You
were not five minutes at it." II do
not charge you fifty cents for doing
it," said the Negro. "I charge you
twenty-five cents for doing it, and
twenty-five cents for knowing how to
do t."-Savannah Neavs.

MY ANGEL MOTHER,

There's a land beyond the river,
Where the skies are ever fair,
And I have an angel mother,
who is waiting for me there;
She went DER the silent waters,
At the setting of the II n
And I know that she is happy,
For the Christians course is run.
In that land where she is waiting
For the ones she loved on earth,
Sin and sorrowInever enter,
But eternal joys have birth.
Where the loved ones gone before us,
Wait and watch beside the tide
For the friends they left behind them,
On the rivers earthly side.
When the solemn summons calls us
To the mansions of the blest,
We shall lose our earthly sorrows
In a sense of blissful rest.
There eternal peace and quiet,
Fills the heart forevermore;
And no pain can ever enter
On the rivers further shore.
Come, o boatman, row me over
To a fairer land than this,
For my heart grows weary waiting
For my angel mothers kiss.

HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.

Use powdered starch to take fresh
F, stains out of table linen.
Diluted hartshorn is good for taking
mildew from wooden goods.
Use a heated knife to cut hot bread
and the latter will not be soggy.
A poultice of cranberries is said to
be an excellent thing for erysipelas.
For many forms of kidney difficulty,
a tea made of peach leaves is a sure
cure.
If paper has been laid under the
carpet all dust may be easily removed
with it.
Rub silver spoons with finely-sifted
wood ashes to remove stains left by
medicine.
Keep hops tightly packed in a dry,
close place. By exposure to the air
they lose their flavor.
Put a few drops Of ammonia into
your sponge bath and you will be
astonished how it will cool the skin.
Turpentine, in doses of twenty or
thirty minims, will not only remove
the headache, but produce, in a won
derful manner, a soothing influence.
To produce a good gloss on linen,
pour a pint of boiling water upon two
ounces of gum arabic, cover and let
stand over night add a spoonful to
the starch.
Oil of cinnamon will cause the dis
appearance of warts, however hard,
large or dense they may. be. The ap-
plication gives rise to neither pain nor
s~upperation.
In toothache if the cavity is so
great as to allow the air to reach the
nerve, get some spirits of. nitre and
mix with alum !; s~aturate a little cotton
with the mixture and place it in the
cavity. This is claimed to be a cure
for toothache.
Wheel grease, and all other grease,
on cotton goods may be taken out with
cold, soft water, and any good soap /;
soft soap is the best. In cases of long
standing wet the spot with kerosene.
oil and let it soak for some hours,
then wash as before directed. - m4
Two ounces of soda dissolved in a
quart of hot water will make a ready
and usetd solution for cleaning old
painted work preparatory to repaint-
ing. This mixture, in the above pro-
portion, should be applied when warm,
and the woodwork afterwards washed
with water to remove all traces of
soda.
Some patients who have suffered for
years from that extremely annoying

affection, "canker," report that, after
using unsuccessfully numberless rem

quickly to teaspoonful doses of the

morning for a week, then omitted it

paste and bake rather more than an
hour.
GINGERETTE.
One gallon of water, one pound of
white sugar, one-half ounce Of beat
ginger root, two sliced lemons, one
fourth ounce of cream tartar. Boil
the ginger and lemon ten minutes in
part of the water; dissolve the sugar
and cream tartar in cold water, add
one gill of good yeast. Let it stand
over night and strain and bottle in the
morning.
RAW BEEF SANDWICHES.
Scrape fine a small piece of fresh,
juicy, tender raw beef. Season highly
with salt and butter. Spread it on
thin slices of bread, put them together
like a sandwich and cut into small
squares or diamonds. This will often
tempt an invalid who could not other
wise take RAW meat. TIL esanwichse
are sometimes made more palatable by
toasting them slightly.
EXCELLENT ROLLS.
Take three pints of warm water in
which some peeled Irish potatoes have
been boiled, strain your water, add a
tablespoonful Of butter or lard, one
teacupful of warm yeast; thicken it
with -four to make a dough. Let it
stand to rise, then work into rolls.
Let it stand to rise fifteen or twenty
minutes, then bake about three-quar-
ters of an hour. You can make this
into ~loaves, as it is a good bread
recipe.
Put into a saucepan a pint Of milk,
two dessert spoonfuls of orange flower
water and two ounces of sugar and let
it boil. Take six eggs, separate the
yolks from the whites, beat the latter
to a froth of snow (hence the name)
and put it into the boiling milk by
spoonfuls; stir the whole about with a
skinner. When done take the eggs
out and dress them on the dish for
serving. Thicker the milk over the
the fire with the beaten yolks, pour
this over the frothed eggs; let the
whole cool and serve.
